Sweet Potatos Anna

I'm from the south - where the Sweet Potato is only used to make the sweetest of casseroles. However, I no longer need or want those calories, and was looking for an alternative recipe. SO, I'm sharing Sweet Potatoes Anna (from Quick Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin). It's fast to make, and it tastes FANTASTIC!!! Great savory treat.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Pour 1 tbsp of melted butter into an 8 inch round cake pan, and brush it all ove rhte bottom and sides with a pastry brush (or your clean fingers).
Mix 4 tbsp. grated Parmean Cheese (Purple Dragon has fantastic price on Organic Parmesan) with 3/4 tsp. nutmeg, salt and pepper (I like fresh ground).
Peel about 2 lbs. of sweet potatoes (whole share) and cut into paper thin slices (food processor helps with this, but not necessary). Layer one -1uarter of potatoe slices in concentric circles in the prepared pan. Dab with 2 tbsp melted butter. Sprinkle with cheese and spice mixture. Repeat potatoes layer and cheese layer 3 times ending with cheese layer.
Cover with foil. (You can put in fridge for 24 hours at this point if you need to - be sure to turn the oven off!)
Bake 45 min the uncover and bake 30 min more. Let sit 5 min and serve in wedges.
